Ingredients:

4 cups chicken gravy
800g
3 sweet potatos
600g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1 tsp black pepper
2g
2 chicken breasts
240g
1 bunch fresh parsley
54g
1 cup soy milk
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
- Chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Cook and shred the chicken breasts if they are not already cooked.
- Chop the fresh thyme and fresh parsley.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- In a large pot, add a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
4. Add Seasonings:
- Stir in the fresh thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper.
- Add the shredded chicken breasts and mix well.
5. Blend the Soup:

- Blend until you achieve a creamy consistency.
6. Finish the Soup:
- Return the blended soup to the pot if you used a regular blender.
- Stir in the soy milk and continue to cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, ensuring the soup is heated through but not boiling.

8. Serve:
- Ladle the creamy chicken and sweet potato soup into bowls.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

- 1. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken gravy instead of store-bought.

- 2. To make the soup even creamier, blend a portion of the soup before adding the shredded chicken back.

- 3. Feel free to substitute soy milk with any other milk or cream of your choice.

- 4. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.

- 5. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
